Non-stop action brings Korean zombie thriller Carter to Badass Heights.

Carter is the non-stop action-thriller ride every blockbuster claims to be. When Scorsese fondly compares Marvel to theme park attractions, this is the experience he should be talking about. Directed by Jung Byunggil, this action drama stars Joo Won as Carter, a mysterious amnesiac who, depending on who you believe, is working for the CIA or the North Korean military. . The main technical gimmicks are the use of drones for an artificial endless photo and a running watch like the High Noon. My first thought when I watched the trailer was about Hardcore Henry, a first-person sci-fi action movie about a person with amnesia. Carter is a bit more grounded, despite a nearby zombie infection from the Korean DMZ, advancing the plot as he has to rescue and transport the daughter of a research scientist whose blood contains the possibility. natural infection resistance.

I've seen a lot of great movies this year, but Carter is a top hitman: Maverick and Everything Anywhere Anywhere for "Most Fun". It's also easily the most violent and visceral, at least on par with The Northman, but with a higher zombie-per-minute rate. Some of the most exciting action sequences I've seen this year are in this movie: Carter breaks into a mob of Yakuza bathhouses with their own winged weapons. Carter just creates humorous rhythms through the sometimes absurdity and abruptness of his often brutally violent behavior. Although the romances are alluded to, it is not romance, and in my opinion, despite the popularity of North Korea, Carter is generally not an anti-Communist propagandist.
